The UK hosts the Farnborough International air show and the Defence Systems and Equipment International (DSEi). They rank among the world's premier trade shows in their respective armaments industries.

The UK trade shows serve as forums for displaying U.S. technologies, promoting standardization and interoperability with our allies, and for demonstrating the continuing U.S. commitment to the security and stability of the European theater.

Customarily, these trade shows are scheduled on alternating years. The next DSEi will be held during September 2011, the next ITEC   in 2012, and the next Farnborough International Airshow will be in 2012.

In 2012 the ITEC Defence Training and Simulation Conference and Exhibition will also take place in London.
